"Oxford Bibliographies Online (OBO) is designed to help busy researchers find reliable sources of information in half the time by directing them to exactly the right chapter, book, website, archive, or data set they need for their research. Each entry is a selective guided tour through the key literature on a topic, receives multiple peer-reviews as well as Editorial Board approval, and is designed to facilitate a research experience with no dead ends. All citations can be linked through to your collection via OpenURL, full-text via DOIs, or to the web via links to OCLC, WorldCat, and Google Books. These links are not established for the trial."
Bibliographies are currently available for these subject areas: Atlantic History; Classics; Criminology; Islamic Studies; Philosophy; Renaissance and Reformation; Social Work. Two John Jay faculty members ( Karen Terry and Lila Kazemian) compiled the bibliographies for 6 of the topics within the Criminology bibliography.

The publisher claims this to be "The most comprehensive and authoritative source of the latest global terrorism-related news, analysis, reference and events .
